FreeSwewing is an awesome project by Joost De Cock! You should totally check it out if you're into sewing. And if you're into digital sovereignty tou should totally check out stati…

Based on what I've seen, there's no way to get that project into the PSL. I would recommend you to have the content available at projectcontent.com if the main site is project.com,…

The thing is, for users, having a separate domain wouldn't have made any difference without the PSL. And you cannot get on there before you're big enough - which I'd say is roughly…

Sure, and sorry for being so unclear. The point of my post was meant to be a) Google has this enormous cannon, is this "right"? And b) they will use it to kill anything bigger than…

Ok, I see. You mean the possibility of users impersonating statichost.eu itself. That is actually a good point, and the exact reason why user subdomains are required to have a dash…

Author here. What kind of security negligence are you referring to? What would be a specific attack vector that I left open? Regarding the PSL - and I can't believe I'm writing thi…

Thank you for this hacker-minded and sharp comment! And for what it's worth, it feels great to actually pay for something Google provides!

Many commenters are implying that there is a security issue here, and that I'm putting everyone in danger. That is quite frankly a pretty absurd claim to just casually make. I'm of…

Author here. I understand that my post and what I'm trying to say is unclear. And that there are too many different aspects to all this. What I'm trying to say in the post specific…

So the problem here is that Alice on alice.statichost.page might set a cookie for the `.statichost.page` domain if she's careless (which is sometimes the case with Alice). This coo…

Please note that this tool (PSL) is not available until you have a significant user base. Which probably means a significant amount of spam as well.

Fair enough! :)

Since there's a lot of discussion about the Public Suffix list, let me point out that it's not just a webform where you can add any domain. There's a whole approval process where o…

The thing is, you cannot just add any domain to the PSL. You need a significant amount of users before they will include your domain. Before recently, there really was no point in …

I respectfully disagree with your premise. In this specific case, yes, "Google does good thing" in a sense. That is not why I'm saying Google has too much power. "Too much" is rela…

You are right, it would still affect all users. Until the pending PSL inclusion is complete, that is. But it now separates my own resources, such as the website and dashboard of st…

(Author here) This is all true. The main assumption from my part is that anything remotely important or even sensitive should be and is hosted on a domain that is _not_ companysubd…

That is a great point. When I see these sites I'm always seeing a dozen red flags, and maybe the biggest one is that it's showing a "NatWest" banking site or something and is hoste…

You are right, of course. I'm not sure if those of you who disagree with me think that Safe Browsing did its job (which it did!), that Safe Browsing is a good thing (which it maybe…

I'm not saying that Google or Safe Browsing in particular did anything wrong per se. My point is primarily that Google has too much power over the internet. I know that in this cas…

This is of course true! It just takes an incident like this to get ones head out of ones ass and actually do it. :)

Good question, it probably shouldn't be legal. Enforcing the law on these behemoths is another problem, though... :)
